Nemanthias carberryi

Nemanthias carberryi, commonly known as the Threadfin anthias, is a small/medium Anthias species. It's a very colorful fish, with a mostly pruple body, a yellowish-orange back and caudal fin, and an orange stripe over the head. Like all anthias, it's an active fish, which is best kept in a group/school of at least 4-6 fishes. When buying a school you don't need to worry about sex ratios because these fish are hermaphroditic. This means the most dominant fish will automatically turn into the male when there is no other male around.

Keeping this fish in larger numbers will definetely make it shine. Do make sure they can eat multiple times a day though, because in nature they feed on zooplankton the entire day, and are not build for one meal a day!
